ty news for the rest of the league, tbh..this probably means that they will move Gasol for a major piece, per usual..
http://www.twincities.com/timberwolv...gasol-rejectedThe Los Angeles Lakers recently rejected a Timberwolves trade offer for forward Pao Gasol that would revolve around Minnesota center Nikola Pekovic and forward Derrick Williams, according to an ESPN.com report citing sources with knowledge of the Lakers' thinking.
The report claimed that the Lakers also turned down an offer from the Toronto Raptors.
Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn was unavailable for comment Thursday morning, Dec. 6.
This is not the first time the 32 year-old Gasol, a friend of Spanish countryman and Wolves point guard Ricky Rubio, has been linked to trade talks with Minnesota. The Wolves reportedly pursued
Gasol in talks before the 2012 draft and last season's trade deadline. Williams, the No. 2 pick in the 2011 draft, was mentioned as possible trade bait for Gasol in the past. So were then-Wolves forward Michael Beasley and a first-round pick.

AAAND
What use would D'Antoni have for Pekovic? Eight minutes per game as a backup for Dwight?
The Lakers are going to get a HUGE return. Something stupidly great. Like Al Horford and Josh Smith or something like that.
No way they get that from ATL. Maybe from another team, but not ATL.
seriously, will they ever win the honest way?
Some team will get a wild hard-on for Pau after talking to Mitch and hand over their core.
I'm on record saying they should trade with Denver. Pau Gasol for Gallinari, Wilson Chandler & Mozgov or Koufous.
Ray would kill himself, tbh
Would you trade Gasol for Bustnani and Calderon? You're on record as saying Bustnani would be a great third banana, tbh.
Tbh, Hawks already refused to even give up only Josh Smith for Pau...
No I would not.
I was on record saying that. He's made 0 improvements since the argument began.
Also, what do you think of the Denver trade
Maybe the Knicks will give them Amar'e AND Friend Killer...
I think a trade with the Mavs makes more sense... Mavs are a bit down, they could use some help inside... plus they could trade for Marion who D'Antoni knows well (although IIRC, he left the Suns a bit upset with pringles)
Marion, Dantay Jones and Kaman for Pau... they would need to wait until Dec 15 though, that's the earliest Kaman can be traded... Kaman is an expiring too, so the Lakeshow would get some cap relief at the end of the season...
Kaman is only there to make the numbers work and give the Lakeshow a $8 million cap relief next summer...
LA needs younger, more athletic shooters.
I might never stop laughing if they trade Pau for old-ass Marion and -ass Kaman....
Recent history (Odom, Bynum) tells us that it's a bad idea for a team to trade for bigs that the Lakers are ready to move. So which of the league's weak sisters will solve LA's problems this time? Where's Jerry West hanging his hat these days?
He's camping with the Warriors right now I think
Maybe the Dubs and Lakers can swap vaginitis-afflicted bigs... Bogut for Pau....
The Mavs don't need Gasol. They need a PG.
Bargnani/Calderon for Pau. Raps fans are begging Mitch to do this.
Easier for Bonner to beat 2-19 than Pau on the boards though, tbh

I'm thinking Mitch won't pull a trigger until Nash comes back and they find out even he can't fix the Lakers' issues.
